We performed a comparison between CloudStack and HPE Eucalyptus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."CloudStack supports every operating system that supports hypervisors, which makes the product more attractive, compared to vCloud Director or Azure."
"My company could implement a lot of customizations and integration with load balancers and DNS. When we started using CloudStack, we didn't have that integration, so we developed that. We could fix anything missing in the solution."
"The initial implementation process was quite good."
"Key features include stability, centralized management design that scales well, and transparent interoperability with different hypervisors and manufacturers.."
"It works, and pretty much always has. Reliability and support for enterprise features, with a multi-tenant interface, makes CloudStack a very compelling solution."
"Killer features for me were: support for many hypervisors, ability to match business logic, "everything in one box," available APIs."
"It gives us the ability to manage and segregate a guest network with openvSwitch and VLAN IDs."
"We like the virtualization capabilities."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the interface on the console."
"CS has very descriptive logging, and every time I faced issues and asked for help, I didn’t get any reply from the community. Reason? Its quite obvious. CS runs on specific environments, unique to each case. So, unless it is a functional issue of CS, nobody can help you. All issues were resolved by myself going through logs. This is another reason why you need smart enough people to manage it. Engineers must have knowledge of hypervisors and understand how CS interacts with them."
"The user can't upload SSH keys from the UI. We have to use the API for this, and it is not always convenient."
"The Windows hosts do not get their hostnames from cloud-init."
"It would be a good to have more specific error messages within administration processes (e.g. problem with creating new instance)."
"It is not widely used so Google does not help very much when you are troubleshooting, and the CloudStack forum is not very active."
"The product does not have an easily implementable payment gateway."
"Accounts, domains, and user accounts are set up with public cloud in mind, not private."
"There are some minor things that can be improved even more such as, perhaps, a bit more polishing on the GUI side to catch up with the API possibilities (which are really extensive) but otherwise nothing critical."
"The customization should be improved."
